Tie It Up

Say what you want about Olivia Palermo, but she has great fashion sense and looks elegant and chic in every outfit she wears.

When I saw a recent photo of Palermo taken on the streets of NYC, wearing a silk blouse with a bow tied at the neck, I knew I had to have that very blouse. The style is very versatile - you can wear it with jeans, black pants, or leggings, tuck it into wide-leg jeans or slacks.  Buy it plain, or purchase a bold patterned blouse.

My personal favorite is the yellow from TopShop.  Cute, right?

Product of the Week

I don't know about you, but it takes me forever to get going in the morning.  I need all the timesavers I can get to put myself together and run out of the house.

My new favorite makeup purchase is the Nars Multiple Stick.  Reminiscent of a blush stick, it comes in various shades and can be used for cheeks, eyes and lips.  A couple of swift strokes on your face, and you are done, looking flushed and bronzed.

Tip for the wise - blend, blend, blend!  Fingertips are the best way to rub the color into your skin, using the oil from your fingers to avoid glittery patches.

Flip for Flats

With spring approaching and New England temperatures rising to 60 degrees, we can finally think about shedding those layers.  I personally dream of the day that I can store my boots, as cute as they are, and take my spring footwear out of hiding.

Flats are my personal fav, as wearing heels in the city is virtually impossible for me.  Pair any basic outfit with bright, bold flats to spice up simplicity.

My go-to's - anything with glitter, gold, animal prints or bright colors.  My wardrobe tends to consist of blacks, browns and grays, and adding a pair of flashy shoes really spices up a bland outfit.
